Red Heart dog food baseball cards 1955

[bbcard1]

It's a handsome set. They were available via a mail in order and I have heard that the company had sets they would send up until the 1970s. The backs are one color, but have a good design and offer information a fan would like to know.

Issued in 1955, they are an excellent supplement to mainstream sets as they include both Mantle and Musial. Mantle did not appear in the Topps set and Musial didn't appear in the Topps or Bowman set. Here's a link that has a picture for the card back. They are a relatively common but desirable issue.

You are correct sir. I fat fingered that one. The same is true, though concerning Maris and Mantle.

The Red Heart set is one of my favorite sets. This was the first PSA Registry set that I ever did. See link below. There are 11 of each color background, red, blue and green. The red is said to be the toughest one to find. The backs are all the same color. There are only 3 PSA 10 Red Heart cards, 2 Mantles and a Sherman Lollar. As was mentioned, they were supposedly available until the early 1970s as mail in redemptions. Here are scans of each background color and a back scan so you car see what they look like.
